Personal Quote:
[When asked why he would have a "special thanks" credit on the Ozzy Osbourne album "Diary of a Madman"] It isn't me, man. There's a travel agent in Belfast named "Stephen Rea", and I found that out because people kept asking me that question over and over. There's also a set designer named "Stephen Rea", but that's not me either! See more »Trivia:
Was nominated for Broadway's 1993 Tony Award as Best Actor (Play) for Frank McGuinness' "Someone Who'll Watch Over Me". See more »Trademark:
